The National President of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Bello Abdullahi Bodejo, has said that the Fulani herdsmen don’t need anybody’s approval or permission to occupy any land in any part of the country. Bodejo stated this during an interview with TheSun. He said the herdsmen first settled at the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. According to him, after they settled in one place and leave, then farmers come and start farming, and town start springing up there. “It is only Fulani that can go and stay inside any bush they like”, Bodejo told TheSun.
“They have the right to go and settle in any bush in this country without asking anybody for permission. It is not against the law in this country. Who would they go to take permission from, is it the animals in the bush? You see from the village to the bush they are claiming is theirs maybe over 100 kilometers
